Prince Louis caught the attention of royal fans as he gave his dad, Prince William, a helping hand with his ornate military uniform. The Waleses sat beside King Charles and Queen Camilla as they watched the military procession to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

At one stage, Prince Louis, turned to the left to face Prince William, and repeatedly began brushing his right shoulder, as if to remove dust or dirt from his uniform. Royal fans have rushed to comment on the cheeky young Prince's antics. On X, one wrote: "I love how William just casually accepts the behaviour lol." At another point he also appeared to give a tug to his father's aiguillette, the ornate gold braid across his shoulder. One viewer said: "Prince Louis rubbing Prince William’s shoulder! So adorable." Another wrote: "Awww Prince Louis was brushing off his father's uniform. What a button he is."

Another royal fan on X analysed the interaction: "Watching Prince Louis tapping William on the shoulder while William was talking to a gentleman to his side. Just like all kids! And just like all good parents, William acknowledged Louis with his hand touching him, (hang on a minute son) but continued his conversation."

Fans of the Royal Family were delighted after they caught a glimpse of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis arriving at Buckingham Palace ahead of today's VE Day commemorations.

George, Charlotte, Louis looked adorable in navy blue as they colour-matched their father and took their seats in the stands ahead of today's military procession. The children were seen greeting veterans along with their parents.

This week, the Royal Family will be out in full all week as they lead the nation in commemorating the milestone 80th anniversary of VE Day with a series of scheduled engagements

Key engagements include today's iconic balcony appearance and a special tea party in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. On Thursday, the royals will attend a special service at Westminster Abbey, followed by a star-studded concert at Horse Guards Parade.

This year's 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe marks the first major VE Day commemorations to be held in the absence of Queen Elizabeth II.

The late Queen had a personal link to the historic celebrations - as a young princess, she secretly joined thousands of revellers as they jubilantly gathered outside Buckingham Palace on the night of May 8 1945.
